Request Feature: build cpp code to android

[albertxavier100]

I'd like to request a feature: build cpp code to android. It can save my life. any related info is welcomed, Im willing to try them

ENV: target os: Andriod, working po: windows 11, language: c++

I think to make this work we need:

• In rust, implement the android_main function in the crate in api/cpp/, and call slint::android::init from it, as well as some callback into the C++ application written from the user somehow to call their "main"

• Get the build system to generate an APK with the user's application C++ application and the rust library

I'm not sure if there are other API that needs to be exposed to C++ (like what would be the argument of this "main" functions being called and how to define it.)

I'm unfortunately not very familiar with the android build system, so i can't really assess how hard the second point is.
